Thanks James, this bait is a killer! Some quick mods are add a little color on the tail with a sharpie or rub the bait to mute the color. Take a spool of of lead wire and wrap it around the hook it will sink a little faster. If fish are slapping at the bait you can rig it on a straight worm hook and fish it on an exposed hook. There are also times when a 3mm glass rattle will be a good add. Tight lines 👍
Hey James……. I have most of the other fluke type baits but never tried the D-shad. Yamamoto makes a great product so I have no doubt it will work. Thanks for the tip and video!! 🍻🍻
I use to nose hook a Zoom years ago but stopped because they don’t ship to Canada anymore. I may try the d shad if I can find them but I ‘m not going to loose any sleep over it. I prefer wacky over Texas rig but I may have another go with it on a Senko .

Tie a small swivel on the line 12 inches out in front and use small lite weight split shot in 5 foot and shallower.
Ive found it to work really well with out all that, though in deeper depths or really windy days that’s a good tip
Agree. Great show.
Thank you 👍

Just found your channel. Thx for the info. Love soft jerks for river smallies.
Floating Lizard is also a great choice!

Never tried the d-shad, never seen them. But I like the fluke a whole lot, and this looks similar, maybe just a quicker fall?
Yessir heavier due to salt content, easier to throw and handles nice on windy days
Great tips !! Nice to hear from you again James! God bless and tight lines, be safe my friend.

That fluke is a deadly bait on Lake Palestine from February till, well anytime really.
Off subject but what rod reel line do you use for floating worm fishing?
watching this like I can catch fish, I’ve spent a day on Lake Erie catching nothing. I think my rod puts bad vibes into the water.
Yamamoto D-Shad...it's far better than any fluke.
So this was just a infomercial for the d shad. That "other" bait you couldn't seem to remember was a zoom fluke, your welcome.
Yamamoto works but is expensive and frail
